Perhaps we make the gun owners responsible for the guns that children are getting ahold of? And don't tell me that the biggest cause of this problem is theft...if it is, gun owners should be accountable for that, too...even insurance rates go up when a claim is made, regardless of who's fault it is. Shouldn't there be some ramification for irresponsible gun ownership? rights come with responsiblities...

Making gunowners responsible will help, there are always those cases in which, guns are stolen..and the gun owner can't be held responsible..But yeah, good point , and the right place to start...

Why should a gun owner be responsible if somebody steals his guns and does something bad? Is the owner of a car responsible if somebody steals their car and runs somebody over? There are already laws on the books making it illegal to give a minor or a felon a gun, why what new laws would you like to see?
As far as registration goes, that's a non-starter. There are too many people (myself included) who would fight tooth and nail against a central firearms registry. The government does not need to know who owns guns. Police can trace the history of a firearm in the course of a criminal investigation with a warrent, and that's good enough. Nobody should ever be able to sit down at a computer, pull up a name, and see what guns that person owns. Comparing gun registration to car registration is apples and oranges. You don't need a permit or license to OWN a car, just to drive it on public property. Futhermore there is no constitutional guaruntee of the right to keep and bear cars.

Personal accountability is already in place, please wake up people. GUNS DO NOT KILL, PEOPLE DO!!! And when they do, they are held responsible for it. Where does all this ignorance come from!! The Manufacturers are not in any way responsible for what is done with their products. That is like holding the Forest Service responsible if a tree falls on someone. Ridiculous! Do a little thinking and research before asking such stupid questions.

I totally agree with the concept, HELLVIS, but unfortunately it assumes we have reliable records of gun ownership. Our governments (federal and state) would like us to believe that they have a system in place to restrict and regulate gun ownership, but the truth is that we don't. There are still far to many places one can walk into and walk out of with a gun, no questions asked. If we could have a registration and procurement system like we have for motor vehicles, maybe that would work, but there are simply too many guns and too few safeguards on who has them to make that work.
I would vote that we round them all all up from everyone and then enforce a stricter system of control for ownership when they are redistributed. (and yes, you NRA/Charlton Heston types, you can have then back, but you DO have to take responsibility for them this time)

Amen. Gun owners and gun manufacturers are completely unaccountable for their irresponsibility. They always blame urban voters for regulations on guns, as if rural children are never killed by guns. The latest round of school killings have all been in rural schools by guns bought by rural gun owners.

this is the capture 22 difficulty in a shell case. New gun cope with criminal rules will of course attack the regulation-abiding reliable gun proprietor. As on your arguments, i in my view have in my view used a pistol in protecting myself from a criminal. fortunately, no one became shot, in spite of if an armed theft became as quickly as stopped. As on your argument approximately weapons not being effective against governments, what we do understand as examined by using background is that disarmed populations are helpless against their very own governments. the 20 th Century is crammed with examples of hundreds of thousands being killed by using their very own governments, while they have been disarmed, in places like the USA, Germany, Turkey, Cambodia, Columbia, Uganda, and so on. We additionally comprehend that some modern western countries that have banned weapons even have bigger quotes of violent crime than the US. See the link. It became as quickly as Norway in simple terms 2 short years interior the previous that had the undesirable shooting spree the situation 70 have been killed, in a rustic the place weapons are far extra constrained.

Sounds great
but
growing up in a city with high crimes....anyone can get a gun. You'll only hold the honest people accountable and not the criminals who aren't registered.
